Daily News – Day 5

This is the daily news vodcast from the London Film Festival on Pure Movies covering the gala screening of Africa United, directed by Debs Gardner-Paterson and starring Roger Nsengiyumva, Sherrie Silver, Eriya Ndayambaje, Yves Dusenge and Sanyu Joanita Kintu.

Africa United tells the extraordinary story of three Rwandan children and their bid to achieve their ultimate dream – to take part in the opening ceremony of the 2010 Football World Cup in Johannesburg.

On the way to the vital selection trial, disaster strikes when Fabrice, Dudu and Beatrice board the wrong bus and cross into the Congo. Without papers, money or a believable story, they are escorted to a children’s refugee camp. But with considerable ingenuity and sass (and a World Cup wall chart for a map), our pint-sized heroes escape the camp and set off in pursuit of their dream, picking up along the way a “dream team” of displaced kids, who help them negotiate a series of thrilling and hilarious adventures.
